Abstract: A visual guide for assisting a user with the positioning of an object relative to the user’s eye is provided. The visual guide comprises: a first positioning indicator provided on an axis; and a second positioning indicator, visually distinct from the first. The first and second positioning indicators are offset along the axis. Furthermore, visual contact of the first and second positioning indicators occurs when the object is located within a predetermined locus of the user’s eye.

Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure relates to a carton for dispensing compressed tissue sheets comprising a carton having an oversized carton opening and a compressed stack of tissues, such as facial tissues. The compressed carton can significantly reduce costs associated with shipping such low density products. The oversized carton opening permits the compressed stack of tissues to expand, releasing the compression of the tissue stack and allowing the tissues to be dispensed normally.

Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure relates to a carton for tissue products comprising a carton and an overwrapped compressed stack of tissues, such as facial tissues. The compressed carton can significantly reduce costs associated with shipping such low density products. The overwrapped compressed stack of tissues has a tear strip, which permits the compressed stack of tissues to expand, releasing the compression of the tissue stack and allowing the tissues to be dispensed normally.

Abstract: A tearable foil for closing a package comprises a plurality of layers laminated together, including at least an oxygen barrier layer and a cover layer. A tear line penetrates at least partially through the cover layer to define a tear strip extending from a pull tab to a tail, wherein the pull tab comprises lateral wings that are delaminated with respect to the remainder of the foil, on either side of a central region that is laminated to the remainder of the foil. A user may fold the lateral wings together at right angles to a plane of the foil and grip them to exert a force on the central region and thus commence tearing of the tear strip.

Abstract: An aerosol container has a positive actuating structure. The aerosol container is comprised of a body section and a dispensing section. The body section has an aerosol container with a valve at an end that is adjacent the dispensing section. The dispensing section has an enclosing unit and an actuating unit with an actuating channel to receive the finger of a person to actuate the actuating unit. The actuating unit fits into the enclosing unit. The actuator channel extends through the dispensing section, at least part of the lower part of the actuator channel being flexible and in contact with the valve of the aerosol container. The actuator channel can be entirely of a flexible material which directly contacts the aerosol valve or be a part of a semi-rigid to rigid material which directly contacts the aerosol valve. Upon depressing the actuator channel the aerosol valve is actuated and product flows from the body section through the dispensing section to a dispensing aperture.

Abstract: An oval dispenser for stick material suitable for being filled through its base comprises a skeletal platform (30) having a threaded hub (32), a rim wall (31), a circular wall intermediate between the hub and the rim defining a filling zone, and a rotor wheel (3) having a hollow boss (13) that defines with the filling ring (34) a continuous passage for stick material to be charged into the dispenser interior.

Abstract: A dispenser for stick material that is suitable for bottom filling comprises a barrel (2) having at one end a base (6) with a central hollow boss with integrally moulded mountings for a separately moulded spindle having at one end at least two opposed struts terminating in means to engage with the mountings in the boss. Preferably, the spindle snaps fits with the boss. Preferably, the spindle has two struts that align with spokes within a skeletal platform (30) that link a filling ring therein to its rim.

Abstract: An oval dispenser for stick material suitable for being filled through its base comprises a skeletal platform having a threaded hub, a rim wall, a circular wall intermediate between the hub and the rim defining a filling zone and linked to the hub by at least two spokes and to the rim by at least two spokes, which latter spokes intersect at least one wall and preferably two walls spanning the rim and intermediate between the filling zone and the rim.

Abstract: A portable rolled product containing a small roll of sheets, such as tissues or wet wipes, is particularly useful for uses outside the home. The roll of sheets is contained within a flexible package, such as a plastic film wrapper, having a roll housing portion and an extended dispensing portion or channel through which the user withdraws the product. After the desired amount of the sheets is withdrawn, the extended dispensing channel can be folded back around the roll housing portion of the package for storage until further use.
